Smart Infill

Basics

• A step above Gradient Infill
• Uses Computer Models (Such as Finite Element Simulation ) to Determine which areas will be stressed which way, and reinforces accordingly
• Needs either a lot of simulation time, a render farm, or a service (Render Farm Server)

Existing Concepts

Work By the Youtube Channel CNC Kitchen

• Introductory Video
• They used closed source software mostly ( Fusion 360 , ANSYS , etc )

Open Source Workflow

OSE Developed

Automated Workflow

• OSE FESI (Open Source Ecology's Finite Element Simulation guided Infill

Manual Method

• FreeCAD -> OpenFoam -> FreeCad -> D3D Lulzbot Cura (Or Other Open Source Slicer)
